Description

Abraham Lincoln: Single Portrait 1860 Ferrotype Stickpin.
7/8" ferrotype of a beardless Lincoln in a beveled brass rim frame.
Some scrapes and microscopic pitting in the emulsion of little or
no consequence. The portrait is large, clear, bold, in focus, with
excellent contrast. The stickpin appears original to us, but there
is some light rust deposits on the backside. Single portrait
ferrotypes of Lincoln from 1860 are generally difficult to source
and decidedly rarer than the back-to-back ferrotype badges normally
seen.

Consign to the 2018 June 9 The Glen Swanson Collection of Indian War Relics, Including Little Big Horn Legends of the West - Dallas.
